Research Program

Benedikt Alberternst studies how consumers and firms can foster resilience and responsibility in light of disruptions and major societal challenges. While resilience helps us endure and even thrive amidst crises, responsibility addresses their underlying causes. Through his research, focusing on the interplay between consumer behavior and market systems, Benedikt Alberternst sheds light on how markets shape (and are shaped by) consumer resilience and responsibility. Additionally, from a marketing strategy perspective, he examines the role of resilience and responsibility for understanding and managing customer relationships.
